    Opposite the Catholic church is the Protestant bell tower. During the Reformation, Walbersdorf was a Protestant stronghold in Burgenland. After the Edict of Toleration in 1781, when Protestant Christians were again allowed to publicly profess their faith, a dispute arose over whether the bells of the Catholic church should be rung at Protestant funerals. It is said that the issue was also about money, as was the possibility of a fee being paid for the ringing. The people of Walbersdorf could not agree. So, in 1800, the Protestants finally built their own bell tower, because no one should embark on their final journey without hearing the sound of the bells. They built it as a small, self-assured symbol directly opposite the local Catholic church. Shortly after its construction, the tower began to lean. Today, it is more crooked than the Tower of Pisa, yet it still doesn't fall over. (evang.at/der-schiefe-turm-von-walbersdorf/)
